             Summary: Make minimum required Java version for build more specific
                 Key: LUCENE-10578
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10578
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Tomoko Uchida


See this mail thread for background: [https://lists.apache.org/thread/6md5k94pqdkkwg0f66hor2sonm2t77jo]

To prevent developers (especially, release managers) from using too old java versions, we could (should?) elaborate the minimum required java versions for the build.

Possible questions in my mind:
 * should we stop the build with an error or emit a warning and continue?
 * do minor versions depend on the vendor? if yes, should we also specify the vendor?
 * how do we determine/maintain the minimum version?
